HOW TO BUY SUNGLASSES ONLINE

 

I have a bit of an addiction for sunglasses and I jealously keep quite a collection in a large drawer.

Most of my sunglasses come from online shops and I rarely (until now never, phew) make a mistake when I order sunglasses.

So I thought that you could use a little recap and a few tips about ordering glasses online.

1° How to choose the frame

Of course there’s no definitive rule, you know how I hate that, they’re more guidelines you can follow if you’re hesitating.

  • for a round face : give priority to the more geometrical lines (straight or tilted) like rectangular frames or a “cat’s eye” style for instance.

  • for an oval face : choose the frames that go down on your cheeks, they will restore the balance of your face, the aviator shape for example.

  • for a more elongated face : if you have a large forehead for example, big frames will dress your face, the retro shape like the “fly’s eye” type.

Note that rounded frames will give you more of a young, sweet look, and on the contrary straighter, more geometrical frames will give you character and confidence in your look.

2° How to choose your protection

Check your frames for the CE seal of approval, this logo is often written in white caps and shows that the product is conform to the European Community’s requirements.

Not everybody knows that but the solar protection factor of your lenses is written on your glasses. It’s the number next to the CE mention.

The category 0 means no sunbeams are filtered.

The categories 1 and 2 are adapted to medium and weak levels of luminosity.

The categories 3 and 4 are for strong sunbeams, like at the beach or the mountain. The category 3 is the one you’ll find the most. And it’s not recommended to drive wearing category 4 sunglasses.

3° How to measure your frames

It’s the safest way to choose your glasses and be sure they will fit you.

Take a tape measure or a ruler and your favorite sunglasses. Almost all of the online shops show the precise measures of the frame in millimeters, all you have to do then is compare the dimensions with your pair. Don’t forget to use the length of your bows. It can be very useful if you have to adjust the holding at ear level.

If you have a nose located a little below the line of the eyes, or a very thin nose, choose glasses with nose pads you’ll be able to adjust at your convenience.

Last tip : enter the exact reference of your future sunglasses on Google Image, that way you’ll be able to see other people with different types of faces wearing these sunglasses.

Have these explanations been helpful to you ? If that’s the case here’s a little contest in partnership with Sunglasses Shop.

PORCELAIN

 

A summer without a little coat wouldn’t be a summer that resemble me.

In my ever-expanding collection, I have recently adopted this porcelain printed piece. I’m crazy about it, it goes with everything. Yes yes, with everything, I have even worn it with leather jeggings and Nike sneakers two days ago.

It’s been on a quick trip to the retoucher to shorten the sleeves, it’s my way of wearing coats, I find it fancier, especially in summer.

I’m wearing a light denim dress underneath, I needed to give it more style with some orange touches on my lips, nails and feet. The little coat is the final touch.

Another word of extreme temptation : both of them are on sale right now on the Asos website, you can find all the links below the pictures. I know, it’s not right to tempt you, I’m sorry.

See you very soon for a little sunglasses-related contest.

KIYONNA SWIMWEAR

  Another bathing suit I fell in love with this summer. Halfway between a mini-dress and a bathing suit, the details of the straps are mesh fabric and the frou-frous on the bottom are absolutely beautiful. The mini-skirt part can go up or down, depending on what you want. This bathing suit takes a while to dry but as I’m…

SETA STORIE

  I have realized that I’ve worn a lot of black this “summer”. But it’s simply because they are clothes I feel comfortable wearing, it has nothing to do with the color, it’s all about comfort and it’s my motto when I’m on vacation. Today I introduce to you a silky black dress, super flowing, light as a feather, I…

CAGE EFFECT

  Fortunately I was able to kidnap the sun so I could bring it back to you on the blog… it’s the nicest souvenir I brought back from my vacation. I’ve been lucky, over 1 month in Burgundy I only had a few raining days, but not a lot of very hot days either. Either way I found the ideal…

CHEZ YVES SAINT LAURENT

Je ne suis pas un couturier, je suis un artisan, un fabricant de bonheur. Yves Saint Laurent I dove in another time at the beginning of the summer thanks to Cultival who invited me to a private tour of the Maison de Couture Yves Saint Laurent, today the Pierre Bergé Foundation. We are welcomed in the luxurious lounges that used to be dressing rooms for the customers of the designer…

But I’m more motivated than ever by some new projects I can’t…

BERMUDA

Who said bermuda shorts were reserved to size6 women ? Not me anyway since I designed grey denim bermuda shorts in 2010 for La Redoute. 4 years later I’m back with super well cut raw denim bermuda shorts from Kiabi. I added a new sleeveless jacket I found at Violeta by Mango, the curvy girls’ collection (beware, I did not say…
